Mon, 11 Mar 2013 19:12:42 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1799595#comment-2381563I think the Bengals cap space is very misunderstood. This article says they have the longest list of UFAs….which is exactly why they have the most cap space!! That list of UFAs that started at 21 (+4 RFAs), included 6 starters. We still have 4 defensive starters and the 3rd CB unsigned. Plus we have Andre Smith unsigned. Those five signings will cost 20M minimum, and we are sitting at about 36M right now. Then we still have 12 UFAs to sign or replace, with only 20M left. Plus you have to leave 5M or more for rookie tenders, and you should leave an injury pool of a few M to cover signings from pre season on to cover players lost to injuries or other circumstances. Their ultimate goal is to leave enough space in the next 2 seasons to do early new deals for Gresham, Atkins, Dunlap, Green & Dalton whose deals all expire this year or next. If you examine the situation, it’s plain to see 2 things. Not only do they not have the money to blow on big money at large free agents. But they don’t even have the money to re-sign all of their own. WHich is what they prefer. In the end they will sign the starters and major contributors. The had the #1 STs unit last year, and the locked up all the major contributors aside from Adam Jones already. They franchised RDE Johnson and his 11.5 sacks, and then signed his backup Gillberry who produced 6.5 sacks. They will lock up Smith the other starters. And likely Adam Jones who is both the 3rd CB and the last piece of the STs unit not signed at PR. Then they will be forced at that point to fill the rest of the roster with close to min salaries. If they are lucky they may be able to go ahead and do an early deal with 1 or 2 of the guys I mentioned above. The new CBA changed the salary cap. Gone are the days of throwing crazy money at players to keep them or draw them to your team. About half the teams get this, about half don’t. The half that didn’t are starting to feel the pinch already after 2 seasons. It’s only going to get worse if they don’t change. Market values have to stay flat during a flat cap. And they haven’t. I expect this year that a lot less teams will be jumping at the big money guys. GMs will want value this time around. Which is also bad news for the Bengals, who need to raid the value bin as well this year.

Of course I’m assuming mike brown wants to spend some money to keep the status quo.

We have the most cap space so we need to use it! Still think marvin isn’t the guy to lead us to a championship thats just me.

Seriously, are you Rain Man? He does live in Cincy and tends to repeat the same things over and over just like you. How many toothpicks did I drop? What was Bernie Kosar’s 40 yard dash time. What yard line did Earnest Byner fumble on again? Beat it troll.

Mike Brown rips his fans off on a yearly basis, over and over again.

He gets away with it because the fans are too stupid to realize it. SMH.

Bengalssuck dude: You know nothing and have proved it by opening your mouth via PFT. It is a great city with even greater fans; they just got a bit provoked by Mr Cheapo, who got lucky when he got rid of crybaby Carson.

All the smorgasbord restaurants in Cincinnati will be heartbroken to see you leave. Mike Brown says he only has $43m. Where’s the other $7m? Oh yeah he gives himself exorbitant bonuses every year. Isn’t there supposed to be a salary floor now to go along with the cap?

Correct me if I’m wrong but according to the new CBA rules in effect for the 2013 season, they do have to use it. “There is also a mandatory cash minimum payroll for each team at 89 percent of the cap, which translates into $107.1 million per team.”
Bengals are leading NFL teams at $54 million under the cap… Just sayin’ so this makes me very happy!

It’s Bengaltastic!!! (no I have no idea what that means I just couldn’t think up anything else sarcastic to say at the moment).
